Social Media Strategist

Boston Private Tutors is hiring a Social Media Strategist to help more families discover our tutoring, homeschool courses, summer camps, and COVID-cautious youth programs.

We have strong programs, meaningful student outcomes, enthusiastic families, and a founder with a clear educational perspective. We are looking for someone who can turn those strengths into a focused social media strategy that builds trust, reaches the right audiences, and leads to inquiries and enrollment.

This is not only a content-production role. We need someone who can determine what we should communicate, who each message is for, where we should share it, and how individual posts contribute to larger enrollment and community-building goals.

You will help with things like:

  • Developing a social media strategy for our tutoring, homeschool, summer camp, and COVID-cautious youth audiences

  • Identifying distinct audiences and creating content that speaks directly to their needs

  • Building content pillars, campaign plans, and a realistic publishing calendar

  • Turning student projects, parent feedback, educational ideas, program footage, and founder expertise into useful and engaging content

  • Writing strong hooks, captions, calls to action, video concepts, and short-form scripts

  • Planning enrollment campaigns around courses, camps, tutoring seasons, and application deadlines

  • Repurposing longer material into posts, reels, carousels, emails, and other formats

  • Advising on which platforms and online communities are most valuable for each program

  • Finding appropriate opportunities for partnerships, cross-promotion, and community engagement

  • Reviewing performance data and using it to improve future content

  • Tracking inquiries, email signups, consultations, and enrollments rather than focusing only on views or follower counts

  • Helping develop a consistent voice that is intelligent, warm, clear, practical, and recognizably Boston Private Tutors

  • Coordinating with the founder, instructors, administrative support, photographers, and video editors

  • Handling student stories, testimonials, photos, and videos with careful attention to consent and privacy

You should be someone who:

  • Can think strategically while also helping ideas become finished, published work

  • Understands how parents evaluate educational services and decide whom to trust

  • Can communicate the value of excellent teaching without relying on fear, pressure, or exaggerated promises

  • Can explain educational ideas clearly without making them generic or oversimplified

  • Understands how content, community engagement, email marketing, and enrollment campaigns support one another

  • Can distinguish between the needs of tutoring families, homeschool families, COVID-cautious families, and prospective instructors

  • Uses analytics to make decisions and can explain what is and is not working

  • Is comfortable experimenting, measuring results, and changing direction when needed

  • Can preserve a thoughtful brand voice while making content accessible and interesting

  • Is organized, collaborative, and able to work with a founder who generates many ideas quickly

Experience marketing educational programs, youth programs, professional services, summer camps, or mission-driven organizations is especially helpful.

Canva, short-form video, photography, editing, paid advertising, email marketing, or community-management skills are welcome, but we do not expect one person to be an expert in every production skill.

About Boston Private Tutors

Boston Private Tutors was founded by MIT mechanical engineer Stephanie Schmit to make excellent education more collaborative, personal, and humane.

Stephanie started the company because she did not want tutoring to be competitive and isolated. She wanted educators to share methods, learn from one another, and improve the quality of education they provide instead of everyone reinventing the wheel alone.

We believe respect, safety, and clear communication come first. Our goal is not simply to deliver information. We want students to become curious, capable learners who enjoy solving problems, understand how they learn, communicate effectively, and feel increasingly confident taking on difficult things.

We focus on cultivating curiosity, perseverance, independence, teamwork, and enjoyment in learning. We also work hard to provide families with an organized, thoughtful experience through clear communication, careful planning, and smooth logistics.

As a small, growing company, we are still developing new courses, programs, partnerships, and systems. Team members may have opportunities to help shape that growth rather than simply stepping into a rigid, finished structure.
